Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for regulating access of consumers (e.g., applications, containers, or VMs) to resources and services (e.g., storage). In one embodiment, this regulation occurs through the movement of consumers between different providers of a resource or service, such as a cloud service provider. Moving consumers includes, for example, determining the cost of moving the consumer from a first provider to a second provider. According to various embodiments, the cost of moving the consumer is compared to performance criteria associated with moving the consumer from the first provider to the second provider.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are disclosed which are directed to computer program products for managing multiple instances of an application or other entities, including managing instances of an application or other entities across multiple environments, in each case while assuring application performance to the extent possible given the resources available. The disclosed management software and/or processes may also be used to ensure that an application is running in multiple geo localities (e.g., discrete and/or physically separated geographical locations).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing resources in virtualization systems, including multi-cloud systems. The use of supply chain economics alone and in combination with other techniques offers a unified platform to integrate, optimize or improve, and automate resource management in a virtualization system. These techniques may be used to monitor and control the delivery of service level agreements and software licenses. They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a virtualization system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there is provided systems and methods for on-chip jitter tolerance testing. A receiver component includes a clock data recovery (CDR) logic circuit. The CDR logic circuit includes a controller to receive a phase signal and to output a DCO control signal; jitter injection (JINJ) logic to generate a first jitter signal at a first frequency and a first amplitude; and digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) to receive the first jitter signal applied to the DCO control signal and to output, based on the first jitter signal applied to the DCO control signal, a first DCO clock signal for on-chip jitter tolerance testing.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are disclosed which are directed to computer program products for automatically understanding and addressing the QoS adherence of a workload in a computer network. The use of pricing can be used to provide QoS adherence for any type of demand or service. The disclosed methodologies can be applied to applications, to virtual machines, to storage, and/or other types of workload, demand or service that is achieved through the use of shared resources.
